    Love her voice. The New York accent just makes her speaking voice sound better than it already does. God, her natural charisma just radiates off the screen, even on a 39 year old video clip.

    • @guyinsf
      @guyinsf Před 2 lety

      1982 to 1983 were a dark period for Debbie. Chris Stein was near death with his disease and she and the band pretty much had to break up and she devoted her time solely to taking care of Chris and completely dropped out of the spotlight. Also during this period she and Chris got back into drugs very heavily because of the stress of his disease and the fact that Blondie broke up.
